Photos and Description of this 4 bedroom holiday home in Jenner - Castle Crag

Castle Crag is a place to relax from the bustle of cities and freeways, yet is still within a short driving distance to the finest experiences offered in California. On a protected hillside behind Jenner, this home offers incredible views of the river and the ocean. Excellent stargazing can be viewed from the upper deck (bring binoculars and/or telescope). A short walk to the ocean reveals resplendent wildlife including a seal rookery, blue herons, pelicans, seagulls, cormorants, sandpipers, ospreys, snowy egrets, hummingbirds, and many more.

This beach house offers 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The master bedroom features a Queen bed and en suite bathroom. The second bedroom offers a Queen bed and the third offers a Queen bed. These bedrooms share a bathroom. The fourth bedroom offers 2 Twin beds, and has a shared bathroom down the hall. If needed, a double futon is provided in the sunroom. Two decks provide space for a barbecue and a large hot tub. The main living area on the upper floor is a spacious sunny area with connecting living room, sunroom (family room) and fully equipped kitchen. All of these rooms offer incredible views of the Russian River estuary. The living room features a stone fireplace. A direct supply of firewood through a special built-in wood cupboard.

Located in the quiet and quaint village of Jenner, Castle Crag is less than two hours north of San Francisco. It has magnificent views of the river valley, estuary and river's entrance to the ocean. As the village is somewhat sheltered from ocean breezes, pleasantly warm weather is the typical climate for most of the year, with occasional sea mists. For those interested in visiting wine county, this home is only a 30 minute beautiful drive along the river to the Korbel Champagne vineyards. There are excellent restaurants all along the river and the coastline between Bodega and Jenner. Swimming, surfing and sailing are 15 minutes south at Salmon Creek and Bodega (made famous in the Hitchcock movie The Birds. Excellent hiking trails and horseback riding are only minutes away, as well as canoeing and rafting on the Russian River.

MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY: The maximum occupancy at Castle Crag is 10.

QUIET HOURS: Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited at any time.

PARKING: On-site parking is permitted for a maximum of 4 vehicles. RVs, trailers and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance.

WIRELESS INTERNET: Castle Crag has a limited wireless internet service. Because of the rural location, typical services like cable and DSL are not available. Instead, Castle Crag uses Excede Internet, which works well for email, text messaging and internet browsing, but is not well-suited for streaming or other internet uses that consume large amounts of data. For a long time Castle Crag was unable to provide any internet service, so we are very pleased to offer guests this option and welcome you to use the internet during your stay.

About Russian River Vacation Homes

We are Russian River Vacation Homes, a part of D&G Equity Management, Inc., a family owned and locally owned/operated property management company.

Our Story:

In 1980, D&G founders and owners Michael and Patty saw a need in the area for habitable, affordable housing. At that time, many of the little cabins along the Russian River, originally built as summer cabins, were unsuitable for year-round occupancy. D&G assisted property owners with fixing up and renting their cabins. As the largest property management company in western Sonoma County, D&G Equity Management continues to be a staple in the Russian River community.

Russian River Vacation Homes is an off-shoot of D&G. One fine day in 1985, Michael's client, Bob, asked "Hey Mike, can you rent my cabin out just for the week or weekend instead of by the month?" Michael said "Sure!" and Russian River Vacation Homes was born. As renting vacation rentals became more popular, Russian River Vacation Homes grew into a full-time business with its own office. Today, Russian River Vacation Homes professionally manages over 60 high-quality vacation rentals.

We strive to make each and every stay the best one ever. If you have any questions or concerns about reserving or staying with us, please don't hesitate to contact us! We are here to help.

Why Russian River Vacation Homes chose North Coast California

Jenner is set along the Pacific coastline. The transition to the coastal environment begins around Duncan's Mills and completes at the river's last bend before flowing into the ocean. Jenner has 3 restaurants with river and ocean views and unique gift shops. Jenner is a short drive from several spectacular cliffs and accessible beaches including Goat Rock State Park.

What makes this house unique

The home's location not only affords knock-your-socks-off views of where the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean, it is a short walk to shops and restaurants in the quaint village of Jenner.

Breathtaking scenery, very clean, great space for all

More than enough room for 8 adults. We all enjoyed our stay. It was almost refreshing to not have phone service all the time (easily accessed down the road). The views town and scenery were enjoyed by all.

fantastic vacation!

We had a fantastic vacation/family re-union in Castle Crag. This house has exceeded all our expectations! First of all - its location is unbelievable. We knew it was supposed to be beautiful, but couldn't imagine how magnificent the views would be...The house is in excellent condition, it has everything one might need and on top of everything - we really liked the owners taste - the furniture and all house decorations are very stylish. There was no cell phone or internet reception in the house - but, believe it or not - nobody missed it.

I also have to mention how nice the ladies from Russian River Vacation Homes are. It was a pleasure to deal with them. They are very professional and friendly.

We've already told all our friends about this house and we will return to Castle Crag in the future.

Another great weekend at Castle Crag

A group of eight of us was back at Castle Crag for at least the fifth year in a row. Though generally modest, it has been nicely updated; it is clear the owners are taking good care of the property. We'll be back again next year.

Very relaxing ,great view, beautiful place to stay and get-away

My Husband, myself and three adult children enjoyed this get-away very much, The house was set up nice with everything one could ask for including the kitchen which was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking, which we did a lot, the view from the kitchen/family room was beautiful. We went Wine Tasting one day in Healdsburg, also enjoyed the town of Jenner and Bodega Bay. We will plan another trip next year.

Birthday Fun Getaway

We had an amazing time at Castle Crag. The views from the balcony and the living room were just like the picture. Just to be in the fresh air was wonderful. We rented this cabin for a weekend of fun to get out of the city and relax. It was nice to have a full kitchen so we could cook dinner every night and enjoy the view. A wonderful weekend away. Thanks again.

Stunning views

The house was a true delight, arrived in mist which was still there in the morning but cleared to the most wonderful view of the estuary and the sea. Could sit for hours just looking at the scenery. Very comfortable home, everything you need and really appreciated the sitting areas and terrace. Hot tub was fun and there is a gas barbecue. The area is wonderful, we enjoyed the red wood forest trail, canoeing down the river from the next town and the sea coast to Bodega bay with amazing sunsets. Truly relaxing haven would love to come again.

Jenner is set along the Pacific coastline. The transition to the coastal environment begins around Duncan's Mills and completes at the river's last bend before flowing into the ocean. Jenner has 3 restaurants with river and ocean views and unique gift shops. Jenner is a short drive from several spectacular cliffs and accessible beaches including Goat Rock State Park.

The easiest coast beach access is at the south side of the river's mouth at Goat Rock. Take Highway One south of Jenner until you take a right onto Goat Rock Road after crossing the Russian River and heading up a bit of a hill. To access the beach on the north side of the mouth you have to hike down the cliffs (there are trails but they are steep).

Folks love the river's mouth! This is the intersection of the river and coast ecosystems. Consider renting a kayak to explore the estuary. During seal pupping season when you head towards the mouth you can see the seals swimming along next to you. Enjoy the ocean breezes!
